    Does “more telemetries” mean “worse”? What if the least telemetry (greater than zero) had the Omega Mother of All Telemetries which crams everything the others do times 47 + 3 into one?

      No, worse is not the amount, but where they are sent these telemetrias. A browser with a lot of features may have also a lot of tech telemetries related to these features to ensure a smooth operation. This is not the same as sending browserdata to third parties, like Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. which has nothing to do with the browserfeatures but with logging and selling userdata. Even worse if you use above an search engine which logs your activity, like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
